Not really. Expanding rights to religious freedom means taking away certain right for others, see eg the gay wedding cake debacle. Expanding rights to "gender self-ID" treads on certain women's rights, see eg single-sex prisons and rape shelters, or the case of Jessica Yaniv in Canada. Expanding free speech rights means reducing people's right to not hear speech they find threatening or offensive. And those are just the obvious examples I can think of immediately.
If no-one's rights were ever in conflict then politics would be much easier than it actually is.
